But given that sulfur also cools the planet, failing to rein in, at the very least, short-lived greenhouse gases like methane while reducing sulfur pollution simply ratchets up the rate at which the world warms. Luckily, when combined, the greenhouse gases methane and ground-level ozone warm the planet as much as aerosols cool it.

Several light hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethane and propane, are VOCs. Especially methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change. Several other VOCs including ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and hexane react with NOx to form ground level ozone which has harmful effects on human health and on plants.
